We own several rentals, and have used Dewey Pest Control several times to address bug issues. They have been very reliable and honest, including one time that they were contacted to evaluate a possible bedbug situation at a rental unit, and they determined it was not a bedbug issue. This further proves that they are an honest company. Mr. Darel is a great person to work with, very professional and courteous. We will continue to use Dewey every time we have pest issues, and definitely recommend Dewey and their services. read more

Vincent was so so helpful today. He took care of a mouse I trapped when I was terrified. He closed a hole and he set more traps. Thank you Vincent amazing work!! read more

Dewey has helped us out with ants and mice over the years. He's always there when he says he will be, professional and courteous. He is clean with the job and informative. Also, I think it's worth noting I feel safe with him in my home. Being a woman in a tiny apartment can feel unsafe and scary with a strange man in it, and I never felt that way with him. read more

Perfect！ Dewey was great. Responsive. Posted on April 4. Issue solved April 7. Leno was a pro at removing the wasps!

I called Dewey's Pest Control this morning about an ant issue and was impressed with their quick response -- David Campos (lead technician) and Zachary (employee in training) arrived within two hours. David took the time to explain the best extermination method to both me and Zachary, which I appreciated. He placed bait in strategic locations inside and performed an exterior spray around the house. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. I felt informed about the treatment and confident in the results. Highly recommend Dewey's for prompt, effective pest control. read more

Wow! Excellent service! Highly recommend. Very professional. My technician Lester was very helpful and knowledgeable. Took care of my pest issue and kept in contact with me to make sure I had no problems. Highly recommend their services over other competitors!! read more

Erick was amazing and knowledgeable. I reached out last minute due to an emergency and Erick car by within a few hours. Erick was able to give us a fair quote and walked me through how to maintain the area. Erick sprayed and was able to prevent any further issues. I highly recommend Erick as he is great at what he does and will answer any questions and concerns you may have! read more

Gary is a very good technician He is very knowledgeable and courteous to me and my staff I highly recommend his services

I live in Potrero hill and Dewey pest control has been very amazing in helping with our roach problems. Our technician Erick from Dewey has been very helpful and responsive every time he comes by. Would definitely recommend this company! read more

I highly recommend Dewey Pest Control. Larry, who serviced us and came out to our apartment, did a thorough inspection and was very communicative, fast, efficient, and honest. He helped us tremendously, and I will definitely be calling Dewey for any future pest needs. read more

We started using Dewey pest Control in 2024 for our three commercial office building including two restaurants inside the ground floor and lower levels. Gary has been great, he is very experienced and it shows. We have had the fewest sightings and complaints since Dewey took over handling all of our pest Control needs. We are very happy with the services do we and Gary provide! read more

Tanner handles our restaurant, and he has done a great job for us. He response to our urgent requests as well.

Five stars well-earned! The pest expert who visited us (Larry) could not have been more professional, honest, or pleasant in assessing our situation and recommending a remediation plan. (A sharp contrast, BTW, from a competitor who wanted to charge hundreds of dollars for a solution before they'd even visited our property, and then didn't even show up at the arranged appointment.) Dewey Pest Control will be the first and likely own call I make the next time we have unwelcome visitors take up residence in our home! read more

***BEWARE IF YOU HAVE PETS / CHILDREN*** We informed our technician that we had an elderly cat who likes to eat non-food items. Despite, this (and against the recommendations of the manufacturer) he placed the gel in exposed areas along the kitchen baseboards and door jams. Our cat required multiple days at the vet hospital to recover from ingesting the supposedly pet-safe ant poison. If you do use this service, make sure you ask them to squeeze the ant poison gel into a drinking straw (and then tape the drinking straw to the ground). This is what more reputable services have done in the past to prevent accidental pet ingestion. 2 stars because the company did quickly respond with the material safety sheet, when requested, so that the vet could consult a poison hotline. read more

I've given this company so many chances and benefit of the doubts, but I'm done. Looks like this has happened to some other reviewers too. It started with some scheduling annoyances and lots of back a forth due to the admin and technician not being responsive and then not communicating with each other. I was willing to overlook that since I eventually got service. They lock you into an annual contract with monthly service, which at first seemed reasonable. A few months later, I realize I'm still paying for monthly service, but not once was I ever contacted to enter the property. I call the office to inform them of this and they respond by saying "oh in the notes they did show up outside but couldn't enter, so they got rid of ants outside and that counts as service, but yes you're missing service for one month". I signed up for rodent services for a 2nd floor apartment, not for ants on the public sidewalk. Where's the common sense here? How about CALL the customer to enter? Both the office, the admin, AND the technician all had my contact information. And yes, I checked to see if I had any missed calls, texts, or emails - NONE. The office supposedly "credits" me for this. The next month, this credit shows up as a charge and I am still being charged for this make believe service. The technician even calls to say that he didn't have my number to call me to enter which is BS because he literally called me on my phone number several times before, PLUS I have text message history proving he had correspondence with me when my service first started. THEN, the office has the audacity to say "oh we switched technicians" which is absolutely false, It was the same guy this whole time. I've contacted the office 5 times to try to figure out where this imaginary "credit" went and to cancel my service. Each time, they say "oh the manager stepped out and I don't know if he's coming back so you should try again tomorrow or we'll call you back". Yea, they've never called me back of course and I keep getting the same answer, each consecutive day. What the hell kind of business is this? Don't bother with a company that has non-existent customer service, purposely makes it difficult to cancel non-rendered services, with severely outdated systems and billing implemented. I'm still trying to cancel this nightmare. read more

Lester conducts our monthly pest control for our rental properties, and he is great! If you are looking for someone kind, attentive, and knowledgeable he is your guy! read more

Last week while I was in town. I was assisting my aunt and uncle clean their basement. I freaked out while I found Minnie, Mickey, and friends scurry through the rummage. I called Dewey Pest Control to help with this adventure. Their basement will no long be Disneyland for them to greet my aunt and uncle. The technician Lester was very knowledgeable and he got my dry lame jokes and allowed me to watch him place traps. Hopefully he did not think I was a stalker. It was interesting watching him work. I know Minnie, Mickey, and friends would take a while before they surrender the basement that they have made their home. Yet after a few days they were escorted out by Lester in his traps. Thank you very much Dewey for your assistance with my Disney Adventure. Stars 1 star for service technician 1 star for on time arrival 1 star for overall experience 1 star for professionalism over the phone. 1 star for being knowledgeable and not scared of Minnie and Mickey. read more

I had a roach infestation in my small unit. The technician came and went in under 10 minutes ( says the desk clerk) I wasn't home, because I wanted to wit u til any fumes were gone. I left the technician a note on my door, explaining the problematic roach areas. Upon returning, I noticed there was still an occasional roach running past. This morning, I moved my refrigerator and hundreds of cockroaches scattered, I took a video, to show this to management. Unfortunately, this is Memorial day weekend, so I have no recourse until Tuesday. I must live in this INFESTATION for 3 days of unhealthy conditions because of a lazy and completely INEPT Dewey Technician. I hope that the company FIRES HIM. Shame on you Dewey! read more

I highly recommend Dewey Pest Control. The technician who serviced us was very communicative, fast, efficient, honest and trustworthy. He helped us tremendously. I will be using this company again in the future if need be. read more

And just like that... that ants are gone! Richard was very knowledgeable and helped us work out some fixes around the yard to help them stay away for good! Thanks guys! read more

Signed a year long contract with them. They showed up 3 times out of 9 yet still charged me for 9 visits. Branch manager did little to make things right. Their office operations are a mess. read more

Professional and friendly. We had rats in the ceiling, and he came promptly, set the traps and showed me how to check, empty and reset them. He also checked the house and garage perimeter and found several points of entry. I was a little worried about how to deal with all this, but he clearly and calmly educated me on things to watch out for. I feel relieved; I'm safer and wiser after his visit. read more

Finally came around to writing a review, I had to! Reading everyone's reviews makes me feel lucky because I had a pest issue a few days ago and my experience with this company is 10/10! Godwin was the pest controller that came over and answered all my questions and got the job done. Since this was my first attempt at dealing with something like this in my apartment (in which, the maintenance didn't even bother to help) I had to find a place fast because I have two girls running around and I don't want them seeing all this nasty infestation going around. It was pretty early but to my surprise, Godwin came as scheduled and made a lot of time for the whole inspection, giving me information on what I can do moving forward to not have this pest issue ever again. I left for an hour or so cause I didn't have to be there and returned with my patio looking fresh and clear of all these nasty bugs, parasites, and skunk residue. Definitely recommend to family and friends for pest control issues. read more

My guy Lester is the best at what he does man we had a big rat problem in are warehouse. He took care of and still does the maintenance for it. Cool guy we even talk about jordan's and other shoes when he noticed I was wearing some 14s lol. Great guy and I would recommend him for any big warehouse in San Francisco thanks. ARS read more

Unreliable. Needed pest control soon. Contacted Dewey twice, once by phone and the receptionist said someone would call me. Followed up the following week by email last week. Still have not had a response from Dewey Pest Control Branch 27. read more

Like other reviewers I cannot rate Dewey Control highly enough. It's so refreshing to find a firm with such honest technicians. I have an argentine ant problem and Jeff gave me such great advice over the phone. He explained optimal times for spraying and also how to self-manage my current problem. I am blown away by their professionalism and needless to say I will be using this firm for years to come. read more

I had a great experience with Larry from DPC. He performed a very thorough examination of my kitchen, found all the points of entry for mice, and made extensive repairs with mesh and foam. It was a labor intensive job (the entire perimeter of my kitchen) and he was a complete pro -- just the guy you want under these circumstances. All this *and* he squeezed this job in at the end of the day. read more

I worked with Isaac De Leon in sales and Simon Wong is my service tech. These guys are amazing to work with. They determined the level of service I needed and got my pest problem under control after 2 visits. Simon even recommended some wonderful preventative measures I should take to prevent future pest problems. We decided on a contract so they could continue to monitor for issues. Simon does some serious dirty work and is extremely thorough with inspecting and with his plan of attack. I couldn't recommend these guys and Dewey enough. Thanks again, fellas! read more

Attention all SF natives, Restaurant Owner, Home owner!! **DO NOT USE DEWEY PEST CONTROL** I signed a contract with Dewey San Francisco office for three visits at $300. The technician come once to my restaurant and never returned. They charged me the full $300. I never saw the technician again!!! However this was not a scheduling error, The technician did not show up for the scheduled appointment nor contact me to reschedule. They took my money and failed to provide an agreed upon service. This is simply not the way to do business. "SUCH A SCAM!!! read more

I can not rate these guys high enough. We have used them at my place of employment for a few years now. They have always taken care of the situation immediately and thoroughly. Godwin is the best. He knows so much about pest control and explains with ease on how to manage and detour little pest from making it inside. I recently utilized their services for my own home residence with a Rat issue and Godwin knew exactly where to point out entry opportunities for the little rascal's. And explained how to trap and keep them out. After a bit of damage to the interior of my home we caught the varmint and have had no issues since. Thank you Dewey Pest Control for professionalism and care to our needs. read more

Have to give it up to Lester! He has been so helpful with our pest problem. We have been battling roaches coming from our neighbors who are extremely dirty but who we share walls with. It has been such a headache but with his knowledge and expertise I'm sure we'll get rid of them in no time. He is extremely patient and answers any questions you have. Thanks so much, Lester! Really appreciate all your help! read more

I am a property owner, but also a few friends of mine have had frustrating stories as well. My friend used to be in the pest business and was shocked at their mitigation tactics for rodents. They are constantly under serving their customers. Their initial response is to do as little as possible. For renters, their reports don't match the observations of the landlords. read more

Cannot say enough how much we appreciate each of the folks who come out and maintain our pest control. Noe who has been a regular is so great, always makes sure he checks in to see where we need more attention. Truly appreciate him and his kindness always! We have had Dewey now for 4 years and never once have we questioned it! Thank you Noe and the rest at Dewey! Appreciate all of you! read more

This company started out great. But they continually dropped the ball once we signed up for their service. Our monthly visits were missed more than made. And I was the once chasing them down each time they actually did make it. Think twice before hiring them. read more

Spreading the word to other customers that Dewey Pest Control are scammers for more money when you try to cancel the contract. Here's why: I'm moving in a few days (on military orders) and recently called Dewey to disconnect my service. I called on Aug 31st, there's a scheduled spray on Sep 15th, yet I was told a 2-week notice is not long enough. That even though I'm moving away and DO NOT want the September spray, I will still be charged for it & the house that I no longer own will be sprayed because I was supposed to give a 30-day notice of cancellation. What?!! I was sorely disappointed with this policy considering I've been a loyal customer since 2016. In all of my to-do list for selling a house, moving, and acquiring a new place to live, it's unrealistic for me to remember a 30-day notice policy for my pest control after FIVE years of signing the agreement. I called over 2 weeks prior to the next spray! I believe The last spray is 100% stoppable but they want the extra money. I'll be sure to never use Dewey ever again and spread the word of this policy. It's ridiculous that Dewey requires more notice than a job (usually 2-week notice)...they're not my landlord (usually 30-day notice). It's not intuitive that a pest control service would require a 30-day notice. Absolutely disappointed, wildly let down, and would never use this company or recommend it to anyone again. Good thing I'm staying in the local area to spread the word. I hope the new owners call the cops when some stranger walks around their house spraying all over it. read more

A good vendor doesn't get much more critical than when you start losing sleep over the infestation you just discovered. As soon as I knew I had a problem, I started my research. I did my Yelp reviews, I started my spreadsheet, I learned everything I could about my tiny enemies, and I started making calls. After hours of info gathering and pest control vetting, I decided Dewey was the best-qualified company to help me reclaim my castle. Simon was knowledgeable, friendly, thorough, and above all professional; all while answering my many, many questions. He explained what I had, how he was going to get rid of them, and what I could do to prevent the little dream-snatchers from returning. It's been two months, and they're still gone. If I ever need pest control again, Simon is the first person I'll call. Thanks again, Simon!! read more

Cannot say enough good things about our rep, Chris Sison and Dewey Pest Control. Chris does an amazing job communicating and making arrangements to come by the office. All through out the pandemic, Chris has kept us covered and hasn't skipped a beat. We really appreciate Chris for checking in on us and delivering such great service. Thank you, Chris, Thank you, Dewey Pest Control! read more

Welcome to the part of your life where you obsess about pests and leave no corner of the internet unturned in pursuit of separating yourself from the pests. Ugh! For years our various downstairs roommates would hear a seasonal scurrying in the wall, but it wasn't until Winter '17 that we saw a mouse in the garage and Spring '17 that the new roommate heard screaming and lots of little feet running in her wall and ceiling :( It was time to do the unpleasant task of pest control. I spent hours speaking with at least 8 different companies before settling on Dewey because of their: -lower price point (~$250 for one set up visit, one follow up visit) -informative, friendly technician (Chris Cison) -availability Before coming over Chris spent about 30 mins on the phone asking me questions and making recommendations such as trimming vegetation near the house, installing a more effective door sweep etc. He actually recommended we MAKE MINOR CHANGES BEFORE PAYING HIM to see if the problem would go away before spending money. I love it when professionals want to educate me before accepting payment! While I appreciated his concern for our budget, I knew our roommate wanted this taken care of for yesterday, so we were able to schedule an appointment within less than a week (yep, many are booked out weeks in advance, which also means they are less available for follow up visits). Chris did a walkthrough with our home, identified the pellets as mice droppings and showed us their likely entrance points. He walked us through the different options (poison stations and spring loaded traps; he set up both) and made recommendations for what kind of work we can do ourselves or hire a contractor for. He even put ant gel in our kitchen at no extra cost and gave us a care package with additional items to support pest control) The results? -1 night our roommate heard scratching in the past month since Chris set up traps vs. several times a week before -no rodent sightings, dead or alive Today he texted me to check in, and said that the lack of rodents likely means that they at the poison pellets and died somewhere else. Best of luck to YOU on your pet control journey! read more
